Modern Family Actress Wins Emancipation From Abusive Stage Mom

The long, bizarre legal battle over the custody of Ariel Winter seemingly came to an end this Friday when the 17-year-old Modern Family actress announced on Twitter she had been officially emancipated from mother Chrisoula Workman.

That November, however, the L.A. County Dept. of Children and Family Services released a damning report finding Workman had indeed emotionally abused her daughter and recommending Gray be given permanent guardianship.

Gray, who was also a child actor, was removed from her mother’s care decades earlier after making similar claims of abuse, reportedly spending two years in the foster system.
